So... I will be trying this out. Well Guild Wars 2. I loved the first. I don't have the money for the expansion but is it really limited? The f2p part of it. What I guess I'm asking is should I even bother our just wait till I get some cash to purchase whatever I need to get the full experience? Thanks for the help.

While I'm expecting pretty much all the Halloween stuff to be recycled from previous years I'm really hoping Mad King Thorn has some timely HoT jokes.

Lots of new skins and the Mad King's realm dungeon is back for the first time since the first year. Not to mention LA's completely different so we don't know what they're gonna sneak in there.

Would love some new Mad King jokes, though.

Here's the list of what's restricted for free players, but the short version is; fewer character / bag slots and restrictions on chat (mostly to keep spammers in check). A few game modes are also level-gated because free characters could cause havoc (for example, draining supply or manipulating siege in WvW by having an alt account to play for a different server).

There's no reason you can't start now as a free player and upgrade later, since you'd have access to the full game (excluding expansion content, of course). You'd be able to get up to 80 and gear out your characters, and since there's no level cap increase / new gear tier, you won't have to worry that you've fallen behind everyone else.

Is there a discount or anything for the expansion for people that bought the base game?

If you owned the game before January of this year, they throw you a free character slot, but no, there's no discount. I can't recall any MMO expansion ever being discounted for existing players.

Please note: to all on the notion of controller support, I will be completely revamping the solution over this weekend based on the new built-in combat action camera support coming with HoT. Please pardon our dust while everything gets realigned- promise it'll be even better than ever by the time it's relaunched.

do i need to be on the same server to be invited? also you can be in more then one guild right? I have my own guild which is only me and i have that for fun, but if its possible i would liek an invite.

Evon Gnashblade has commissioned new jump pads in Lion’s Arch to make the travel time between the bank/Mystic Forge and the trading post shorter.

An entire stack of luck can now be consumed buy right-clicking the stack and selecting Consume All.

Now do it for all consumables.

To sync armor crafting with weapon crafting, and to help maintain the value of leather, masterwork, rare, and exotic inscriptions will now be crafted with patches made from leather and cloth.
To account for the added leather cost, the amount of cloth required to make an insignia is reduced.

Map Bonus Rewards
A new reward system has been added to most maps, which will award various crafting materials as a bonus for playing in that map. These bonuses are given for participating in events and other content such as open-world minidungeons or jumping puzzles.
When you earn a map bonus reward, it will be delivered directly to your inventory upon event completion.
The map-specific rewards in Dry Top and the Silverwastes that were awarded after completing events have been updated to use the new map bonus reward system. You will no longer receive a reward chest that must be clicked to open for completing events in this map; the rewards will be delivered directly to your inventory upon event completion.
The rewards available each week for a map are displayed in the mapís tooltip on the world map, and the current bonus items you can receive are displayed on the world map screen along with the map completion.
